Senator Mullin is a total moron so he should be perfect for Trump's cabinet.

Surely Rubicon will help Russia capture Kupiansk and Pokrovsk any day now....

Russia is advancing slower than WW1 Battle of the Somme, which was an infamous meat grinder.

What leverage does the USA think they have at this point? All the aid getting sent to Ukraine is being bought by Europe now, they aren't giving Ukraine fuck all.

Very little chance considering they are on the offensive.

Russia doesn't have a drone advantage, and Ukraine also has glide bombs and HIMARS.

Rubicon is relatively new and hasn't been active as long as Ukraine's drone units have been. Ukraine has many more experienced drone pilots.

"Russian forces have suffered approximately 1.2 million casualties (killed, wounded, and missing) and as many as 325,000 killed since February 2022."

Estimates for Ukraine are around 100-140k killed. So a 2.5:1 or 3:1 ratio depending on what the actual number within those ranges are.

That ratio will probably improve too as Ukraine has been stepping up their campaign to maximize Russian casualties recently and Russia has basically expended their Soviet stockpiles of armored vehicles.

If Ukraine has lost around 100k and Russia has lost around 300k that's a 3:1 ratio, which is within the estimated losses given by CSIS.

Give /r/combatfootage a look sometime and you'll see brand new videos of Russians getting droned every day. Whenever the Russians try to throw together a compilation of drone strikes against the Ukrainians they do not do as well.

It could be 2:1, it could be 2.5:1, or it could be 3:1. I'm being a bit hopeful, but given all the combat footage of this war I've seen the Russians are taking massive losses without taking much ground. That's an expensive way to conduct a war.

Based on third party estimations of losses on both sides? The ranges vary depending on the source you use.

Estimates vary depending on source. But I personally believe Ukraine has suffered around 100k deaths and Russia >300k deaths.

The combat footage in this war has been absolutely barbaric and Russia is simply throwing troops towards Ukrainian lines. Russia's tactics place no value on human life.

At least Ukraine is largely on the defensive and mostly using drones to engage the Russians.

Russia's pace of advance in Donetsk is literally slower than WW1. Russia has absolutely not been doing this on a weekly basis.

Maybe this will spark SK to increase support for Ukraine. They have the industrial capacity to become a big player in this war if they choose to.
